TONIGHT, A TEEN IS IN CUSTODY ACCUSED OF IGNITING THE FLAMES. WE BEGIN WITH THAT DEADLY CRASH ON THE NORTH FREEWAY. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS EVENING. I'M ERICA SERGEANT. PHILIP HAS THE NIGHT OFF. ROBERT ARNOLD IS ON THE SCENE WHERE HE SPOKE TO A WITNESS WHEN SAW THE ENTIRE CRASH UNFOLD. ROBERT? IF YOU'VE DRIVEN IN HOUSTON TRAFFIC FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO YOU. YOU'RE GOING ALONG WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DRIVER IN FRONT OF YOU COMES TO A DEAD STOP SO YOU HAVE TO SWERVE TO AVOID RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF THE PERSON. SHERIFF'S OFFICIALS BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO A PAIR OF MOTORCYCLE RIDERS WHO CRASHED THROUGH THE BARRICADE INTO AN HOV LANE ALONG THE NORTH FREEWAY AT 1960. I RIDE ON A REGULAR BASIS. SOMEBODY IS NOT GOING HOME. HE NOT ONLY THE ACCIDENT HE RUSHED TO HELPED THE MAN. HE WASN'T CONSCIOUS OR BREATHING. HE WAS BREATHING, BUT HE WAS SPITTING UP BLOOD. JOHNSON SAYS WHAT HE SAW WAS A BLACK CAR COME TO A STOP ON THE FEEDER ROAD. THE DRIVER APPARENTLY DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS NOT AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. THE CAR CAME TO A DEAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FEEDER AND EVERYBODY HAD TO GO AROUND HIM. THE MOTORCYCLES WERE RIGHT BEHIND HIM. DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE MAN ON THE BLACK MOTORCYCLE SERVED AND CRASHED THROUGH THE BARRICADE BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE HOV LANE. RIGHT BEHIND HIM WAS A MAN ON A RED MOTORCYCLE. THE RED MOTORCYCLE BEHIND HIM DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO STOP. RAN INTO THE BACK OF HIM AND RAN OVER HIM. SHERIFFS OFFICIALS SAY THE MEN ON THE MOTORCYCLES WERE BROTHERS THE MAN ON THE BLACK MOTORCYCLE DIED JUST AS PARAMEDICS ARRIVED. HIS BROTHER WAS FLOWN TO MEMORIAL HERMAN HOSPITAL IN CRITICAL CONDITION. I HATE IT, THE FIRST THING HE DID KNOWING THAT I RIDE HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID, YOU HAVE BEEN LUCKY TOO MANY TIMES. SHERIFF'S OFFICIALS SAY BOTH MOTORCYCLE RIDERS WERE WEARING THEIR HOMES. AS FOR THE PERSON DRIVE THAT BLACK CAR, HE SAYS THE PERSON JUST KEPT GOING AND MAYBE DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WE'RE LIVE IN NORTH HARRIS COUNTY, ROBERT ARNOLD, KPRC
